Beautiful book

I loved this book! The writer does an incredible job weaving tidbits of her own family history & fiction into a lovely book. You can feel the characters are real people, with faults but more importantly with strength to overcome the most unthinkable situations. Each generation of women find their own way to bring their family up from the peril of their times.

Lifts the heart while enlightening the soul

This is a remarkable book, which sheds light without denying tortured lives. Highly recommended. It gives insight into African-Americans just as the book, Walking the Trail, One Man's Journey Along the Cherokee Trail of Tears, by Jerry Ellis, illuminates the history of the Cherokee on the Trail, where 4,000 died on the long march from the South to Oklahoma.

I wish this book could go on and on

I loved this book. This is a story of Lalita Tademy's family years ago during the slave days. It gives a good perspective of life from the slaves feelings. Read it you will not be sorry.

Enlightenment!

I am a Louisiana native. I very much love my Louisiana culture. In Louisiana I have heard many stories about our people of color. This book has enlightened me. I really love this book.

Best book I've read all year

This book made me feel guilty for being white...I have never considered the depth of the abuse that black women faced during the days of slavery but after reading this book, I have a new respect for black women. Ms. Tademy took a big step to leave her prestigious job to write this book and she did a great job...this book stays with you long after it's finished and it keeps you interested until the very last word. Bravo!
